CXCallDirectoryManager.openSettings() No Longer Opens “Call Blocking & Identification” in iOS 26

On iOS 26, calling CXCallDirectoryManager.sharedInstance.openSettings() does not navigate to the “Call Blocking & Identification” settings page as documented. Instead, it either opens the main Phone settings page or fails to navigate entirely. This breaks the expected behavior for enabling Call Directory extensions and impacts onboarding flows for apps using CallKit. Expected: Settings should open directly to Phone → Call Blocking & Identification. Actual:

Navigates to the main Phone settings page

This appears to be a regression from previous iOS versions. Documentation still states this API should open the correct page.

Have you filed a bug on this and, if so, what's the number?
